Very basic Python question (strings, formats and escapes)

Question

I am starting to learn Python with an online guide, and I just did an exercise that required me to write this script:

from sys import argv

script, filename = ar         


        

Answer 1

How about this? I used a for loop.

from sys import argv

script, filename = argv

print("We're going to erase %r." % filename)
print("If you don't want that, hit CTRL-C (^C).")
print("If you want that, hit RETURN.")

input("?")

print("Opening the file...")
target = open(filename, 'w')

print("Truncating the file. Goodbye!")
target.truncate()

print("Now I am going to ask you for three lines.")

line1 = input("line 1: ")
line2 = input("line 2: ")
line3 = input("line 3: ")

print("I'm going to write these to the file.")

for a in (line1, line2, line3):
    target.write("\n")

target.close()
